Democracy at work :)

Yes but what MM can't put in we as the Online community can provide, now universal shipyards did this well but tripod (grrrr) dumped them, their back up but its not totaly working yet. So this forum is now the best place to get them and since the mod pack is the best mod in existance so far I think it should probably incorperate other mods, such as the centauri with the authors explicit permission to allow the occasional tweak, I know I would allow it to happen to any shipset/race that I made

Maybe MM could get around the copyright stuff by only including the AI files for Star Trek, BSG, etc. Then you could add your own shipset to it and create the race.
I'd love to see the sound package Tampa Gamer created, for example, included as part of the main game package.
Including some of this would also be a big help when new patches come out too as the additions, hopefully, would be completely compatiable with the patch.
